I love this chocolate pie recipe. It tastes so very traditional and quite a few people have told me it tastes exactly the way their grandmother made it! It came from a lovely old cafe that used to be in our hometown a long time ago.
West Gadsden Cafe Chocolate Pie
1/2 stick butter
5 Tbspoons Cocoa Powder
4 egg yolks, beaten
4 Tbspoons corn starch
2 cups whole milk
1 cup sugar
*Whisk all ingredients in a saucepan on medium heat until it thickens. Before putting the egg yolks into the pan, make sure you temper them with a bit of the hot chcolate mixture so they won't scramble when you add them to the pan. Stirring the mixture until it thickens will be a gradual process. Whisk constantly until it slowly turns to a pudding-like consistency.
*Pour into a baked pie shell.
*To make the meringue, whisk the 4 egg whites with 1/3 cup of sugar until stiff peaks form. Mound onto the hot, chocolate pie and bake at 350 for about 5-10 minutes, until it's light brown on the top.

I found this random recipe for muffins on the back of a piece of paper. It's a weight watchers recipe and they are so good! The pumpkin makes them extra-moist!
Spice Muffins
1 box spice cake mix
1 15 oz. canned pumpkin
1/2 splenda or sugar
1 cup water
2 egg whites
*Mix all ingredients together with a hand mixer. Pour into muffin tin and bake at 350 for around 32 minutes.
*Makes 24 muffins at 2 points a piece. Yummy! The reason I don't have a picture to share is because we ate them up so quickly. Both boys LOVED them!
